Enduring 24 hours of Paddling - The insane world of canoe racing - #53

Wade, and his family grew up paddling around Texas. Now he competes in Endurance Canoe Races around the world. I first found out about this sport from the Au Sable River Marathon in my home state of Michigan and had to have some one on to share about their experience paddling these very unique events. We dive into all the challenges of these races from portaging, technology and all the things that effect your speed and performance. This episode was great and I'm already looking to get a partner and train for this event some day in my own state.
